Let's get right into it been slacking on my photos and documentation a bit but things are still rolling along and I snapped some pics today so I could post an update.
Terri Fox, double grape x grape walker kush freebie from Canadian Autoflower *chopped*
After all the troubles I encountered during this run she still pulled through healthy frosty and terpy which is a near miracle. I'll post a couple photos but I need to take some better up close shots.
Day 56
I'll take better ones just rushed with this girl today almost forgot she was hanging out.
Fitzella double grape x Grapewalker kush freebie from Canadian Autoflower
She is coming along nicely considering and is bulking and frosting up nice with the same funky fuel and artificial grape combo for a nose on it.
Day 51
Holly, Fugue state by Mephisto Genetics
Despite the fact that they suffered at my hand. Its still doing well looks like it could maybe have had more nitrogen as I don't like the lack of green but I've had such strange numbers in checking runoff as the fabric pots weren't cleaned well enough and definitely had a lot of salt build up. Oh well better next time definitely want to do this one again though as I'm sure I could make a beast out of it if I treat her right
Day 43
Next update will have better pics of everything. I apologise for the lack of quality this round.
Eve, livers bx1 by Mephisto Genetics
Doing OK nicer green then Holly but not much bigger plant didn't top this girl. With the exception of the couple that didn't have all fresh soil and things I'm close to back to where I want to be and was before I started stumbling and tripping the girls up
Day 35
Funshine, sour gummy bears by Mephisto Genetics
She had some issues early on and topped herself cute little thing I will be excited to do better with her but I'm going to coax it across the finish line regardless of size. Running old soil and pots only thing extra is the beans and you get extra from ordering direct so not the loss it mightve been otherwise.
Day 29
Suzie Cubed, strawberry stomper by Mephisto Genetics
This girl has never really taken off it never had the chance it should've so when I do it again I'll look for redemption.
Day 23
Black widow, Hulk smash tester from Canadian Autoflower
This girl is currently on of my favourites I've ever done photo or auto so far. I thought about topping it or training it but it's been growing so well and symmetrical I have done nothing and am just going to let it grow naturally.
Day 21
Big shoots, six shooter from fastbuds
This is my first foray into dwc or anything outside of soil and soilless mediums. It's been a ride trying to get things just the way I want them to be but outside of one large swing I've just let it slowly move from like 5.7 5.8 to 6.3 max. Res temp is around 19.5 usually ranges a little. Left the rough looking leaves on as a reminder to be better.
Day 19
Here she is at "sun up" I have my two halves of the tent offset by 15 minutes to not have a huge surge of power at once and there's sun up and sun down in nature so I figured what could it hurt. I'll show after all the plants are updated what the tent looks like now that the photos are out of my way and at sun up and sun down times.
Panamama, Panama haze by Canadian Autoflower
This girl is coming along nicely she didn't get all new soil just fresh on the top layers as the pot was halfway filled before hand might be why it's not doing quite as good as my sweet tooth or hulk smash.
Day 18
Toots, Sweet Tooth tester by Canadian Autoflower
This girl is doing great she was a little slower then hulk smash but she is doing excellent love her deep green back to what I want to be seeing and am used to. When things aren't going right it's stressful as anything to me, I'm glad I mostly figured out the cause though and I'm proceeding much differently even though I've removed the main obstacle which was absurdly hard water and bad water.
Day 17
Gracie tsc, grape topanga x skittlez cake by Jungle boyz
My only photo girl in the auto factory right now so excited to have these genetics my brother blessed me with. Going to eventually be bedding this one I think definitely she will become a mother I think. Just up potted her last night so she's not as happy as she has been but she's growing as fast as the autos.
Day 18
Queen Eleanor, Northern Bear tester from Canadian Autoflower
The name is from the movie brave I gather the mother is a Bear at some point???.... My girlfriend named it but if its a girl bear good enough. Here she is three days in. I use all 5 gallon fabric pots with either 2 gallons of sunshine 4 or promix HP with the amount that makes up the rest of the pot with stepwell super soil. I like the product but I am irked by the name as its not even soil its peat based soilless medium which I like but its not soil nevermind "super soil" if it was "super peat or potting mix" it wouldn't fddl like false advertising to me. I knew what it was and wanted it I wasn't deceived but I feel like people could be by it. My plants have done better in the stepwell then promix HP or sunshine 4 alone even with not feeding in the stepwell and to very lightly feed the promix HP with 10 to 20 percent first week strength organic nutrients I won't be feeding the ones in stepwell until about first sign of sex then maybe flower schedule as it won't be amended enough to last a full cycle. Anyways here she is on day 3 Queen Eleanor
Day 3
I know it says 5 days but I didn't put it in my app and I added the germination period which it counts as days apparently.
Blanche, Gold Nuggets by Canadian Autoflower
This is sadly the last one of these I had and it wasn't stored well but that hasn't mattered it was Soaked and popped just fine and is now up out of the soil with a deep rich green. The plants do like the stepwell more then the promix or sunshine by a lot but it's much more expensive and by the time the ammendments in it have run low or out I'll be feeding organic based nutrient line anyways so the layers of similar medium work for me. I'm sad this is my last one as its not available on site right now at Canadian Autoflower and I have done this one and so has my brother and it was previously my favourite out of the ones I bought from Canadian Autoflower. Which im going to post abbreviated posts in the review thread of all his strains as well so it's all in one place and even with my poor round of growing in the redemption rounds I'll show that the genetics are solid and enjoyable as they have shown me to be before when I grew them out. Anyways enough nonsense here she is.
Day 1 (says 2 but it's because it recorded germination on my app)
Thanks for stopping by!!!!!!!! I appreciate it and any advice or comments you want to leave.
Going to leave off with pics of "sun up & sun down" in the tent when the lights are only part way on. The offset is mostly to not have giant power surge at once but also kinda makes a mini sunrise and set. Here is my perpetual auto factory now that I got the photos out of my way, to make space and so so I can baby and flower them right in my 5 x 3. Which maybe I'll document here after all wasn't going to but I like to journal and I feel at home in this community.
Sun up I missed one of the lights in this pic but I'll redo it next week when the empty ones temp adjusting in there have more mephisto beans in them.
Sun down
Thats my auto space less cluttered without my photos in there way less stressful and easier to work with and have all my zones of the tent be where I want them to be. Vpd oddly enough been easier to control since they've been gone too only couple days mind you. Anyways no room for pics of the photo tent in this thread anyways so maybe later anyways thanks again for looking.
oh well I'm not upset see how she turns out now got the lightest bit of a feed for her first time and that seems to have jump started growth a bit and gave her a nicer color of green.
.
. I am Thankful to have the room to do things and try things out and I appreciate your comments it is definitely a lot time spent dealing with it but as I'm sure you know time with the plants is pretty easy time, for the most part it's very enjoyable. Stressful here and there but rewarding for sure. Thanks again for popping in.
